I wish they would listen.

Ok here are the things I WISH that Surpass would get handled.

Close completed support tickets and either delete or hide them.
If surpass employees are going to post in surmunity they should be uniform in response. In other words its all fine and dandy to post a reply to someone giving you kudos, but when someone complains about poor service you need to answer them as well.

Deal with the daily issues some of us seem to have with pop dropping off the face of the earth. Lets face it we are in the age of the crackberry, email is important to some folks.

We answer just about every post in here.. no complaint post goes unanswered or is deleted or magically dissapears. If it is a complaint about a server there may be a delay in getting back to the complaint while we look into it. I have no idea where this is coming from..

Besides the fact that no staff is required to come here and post at all.. this is a user forum. We do this out of the kindness of our hearts.

Can you pls provide ticket IDs or a domain name that we could reference so that we can better assess as to why your issues weren't handled correctly previously??

I usually see more staff replies to complaint threads than compliment threads.

That's pretty easy to take care of. Reply to the ticket with "Please close this ticket" or something similar, and we'll gladly close it out for you instead of leaving it 'On Hold'.

Surmunity is officially a user-to-user forum as Dan has already explained. Posting here is something we do on the side just to be helpful. As much as we'd like to answer everything, I guarantee you that most of the posts by employees here happen when we are off the clock.

I don't think we've ever refused to deal with an issue. Sometimes it takes a bit of troubleshooting to get something taken care of, so things (especially sporadic email issues) can take a while to fix.

I have done this to a lot of my tickets, and some times they just put it back on hold.

Hmm, that shouldn't happen. Feel free to post any tickets here that you need closed out -- I'll gladly take care of it for you, and talk to the tech who just put them back on hold.

Ticket, NHH-315877

I have asked to close this ticket twice

Stuart,

We will be putting your ticket on hold as we do not close tickets unless they are duplicates. This does not effect the status of the ticket from your end. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
